Yes, absolutely, and UX experts such as those at the Nielsen-Norman group have for years been advising against auto-closing the already-opened options when opening another. For good reason - user frustration in their research.

If I clicked it to open it, then if I want to close it, I'll click it again. Don't hide content I might still be reading!

When a form has two sets of mutually exclusive options it might be appropriate? But I find the user experience confusing. It's hard to tell what happened when all the elements moved around, at least without animations.

Skimming/scanning. For a couple of items, it is not an issue, but say for a long list of FAQ, being able to scroll past fast is nice.
